With the failure of the New World in front of us, the independents in other colonies are afraid to launch revolutions easily. The current imperialist colonial system will also turn from the brink of collapse to safety. It will not be a problem to continue life for decades. Revolutionaries must not. Don't wander in the dark, seek a new way out.

In Midgard in early August, the rainy and rainy weather was just like the state of mind of General Benedict Laval.

Bad news kept coming from the south, and more shocking details were also revealed by newspapers and cloud networks.

People already know that the chief culprit in the fall of Prince Port was General Hooker, who turned his back on the enemy. On the day Leiden Harbor was broken, the residents of the city were ravaged, and the most brutal fire and looting was precisely the troops of the traitor Hooker!

All kinds of brutal acts show that the rebels led by Hook are eager to prove their loyalty and value to the new master of Fei Zhen. To put it nicely, this is called "converted fanaticism," or awkwardly, this is "the two devils are more brutal"!

Nowadays, the person most hated by independents in the New World is Isaac Hook, the "two devils", and they are also worried that there will be more Isaac Hook-style defectors.

Driven by this mentality, when news of the cooperation between the "Conquest of the Order" and the Fijian invading army was exposed, all the generals in the Continental Army who had an ambiguous relationship with the Order of Conquest were immediately labeled as suspicious.

Everyone knows that in addition to Isaac Hook, there is also a senior general in the Continental Army. He has used the power of the Conquering Order in previous wars and even has a guard composed of demons. People have reason to doubt this. People are secret members of the Conquering Order, and their status in this cult is even higher than that of Isaac Hook.

This person is the deputy commander-in-chief of the Continental Army, General Benedict Laval.

Since the fall of Prince Port, the hidden dangers of collusion between military generals and cults have continued to ferment. At first it was heatedly discussed in the newspapers. Later, the Continental Congress also sent an official letter requesting General Vassar to investigate the matter.

This letter also requested the commander-in-chief to initiate a "purge" within the army as soon as possible, encourage lower-level soldiers to report and expose, remove all officers suspected of colluding with cults from active duty, and strictly review them one by one. Never miss it!

In fact, George Vassar did not want to carry out a "cleansing" campaign with great fanfare in the army. He was worried that in this terrorist atmosphere of mutual reporting and exposing, the unity and morale of the army would be destroyed, which would make the Continental Army an inherently difficult situation. To make matters worse, if things get out of control, the Continental Army itself will be destroyed by internal strife and division before real Fei fights over.

Everything is for unity, unity is everything.

Adhering to this purpose, General Vassar had to play a trick of "following yang and yin."

In his reply to the Continental Congress, he promised that he would eliminate the hidden dangers in the army as soon as possible, and would never let a cultist be spared.

In fact, he lifted it high and dropped it gently, just verbally conveying the instructions of the Continental Congress, and then it was gone.

It's a pity that things are counterproductive. The more General Vassar eager to maintain unity, the more cruel the unity will leave him.

When the time came to July 1627, the city of Leiden was captured by Feizhen, and the Continental Congress fled to Galty Island to seek refuge. The situation of the Continental Army became more precarious.

Facing a series of heavy blows, two tit-for-tat sounds appeared inside Forge Valley.

One of the parties believes that Isaac Hook’s betrayal in Prince’s Port and the atrocities of looting in Leiden have sounded the alarm for our army. The Continental Congress’s instructions must be implemented as soon as possible and the army must be thoroughly investigated as having a cult background. The officers at all levels, or one day, another Isaac Hooker will appear in the Forge Valley, and he will stab us from behind!

On the other side, the military officer who is believed to have a cult background, faced people's skeptical sight, public or private accusations, such as sitting on pins and needles, being forced to hold a group for warmth, and consider retreating.

In fact, as early as two months ago, "Wood Destroyer" Dolan Teresis sent out magical text messages to the believers and collaborators in the Continental Army one by one in the name of the Pope, indicating that the Conquest Order has been changed to Support Fei Zhenren’s position of suppressing the independent revolution, in the tone of order or persuasion, instruct the recipient to change the court as soon as possible, so as not to suffer retaliation.

As General Vassar did not strictly implement the counter-revolutionary orders issued by the Continental Congress, the officers who received the letter from Teresis were not under pressure at first and hesitated and did not immediately leave the army.

Later, the situation took a turn for the worse, and the voices demanding suppression of counter-revolution prevailed. Every day, there were snow flakes of indictment letters piled on the headquarters desk. After General Vassar read it, it was impossible to investigate, and it would not be appropriate to not investigate. It is embarrassing.

The atmosphere in the army is becoming increasingly tense. The officers who have been prosecuted are in fact aware of them. They are trembling and sleepless, lest they will be arrested by the military police someday and sent to a military court for trial.

Of course, the officers suspected of colluding with the cult did not want to sit still. They discussed it in private, and finally wrote a joint letter and secretly submitted it to General Laval, requesting that the general lead them to escape the Forge Valley overnight.

Whether it’s disarming and returning to the field, or going to Fei, the brothers all listen to the general's instructions.

Laval received this petition letter and was in a dilemma.

He has always been regarded as the spokesperson of the Conquering Order in Forge Valley, but this is not entirely correct.

He did cooperate with the Order of Conquest many times, and also accepted a gift from Pope Dolan Teresis, which is the magic ring that summons the Demon Guard on his hand, but he is different from Isaac Hu Ke, is not a formal member of the Conquering Order, nor does he fully agree with the purpose of the Order, but only an ally of the combination of interests.

Now that the situation is compelling, Lavalde has made a decision, whether to completely go to conquer the cult, or to make a clean break with this cult group and draw a clear line?

Looking at the joint letters from many of his officers, Laval had no choice but to reply to the letter saying that he had no intention of participating in their escape, but he would not expose them. Finally, I wish them good luck.

On July 17, 1627, the night when General Laval’s reply was received, a total of 41 officers at all levels of the Continental Army suspected of colluding with the cult, from the colonel to the lieutenant, and their cronies, added up. A total of more than two thousand people escaped from Forge Valley in the dark and never returned.

This defection has cast another haze on the already clouded Continental Army and it has sounded the alarm.

George Vassar wanted to deal with it in a low-key manner and make major events smaller, but his generals were so excited that he strongly urged a thorough investigation to eliminate future troubles!
